WoW Classic – Crafting Professions

by Falagar / Articles, World of Warcraft Classic Guides / 28 Aug 2019

Crafting professions create unique items and gear that provide benefit to players. When playing end-game content, many of the items and gear created by the crafting professions provide substantial benefits, and can be sold on the auction house as a strategy for making gold.

Alchemy: Alchemists use herbs and reagents to craft powerful potions, elixirs, flasks oils, and other liquid alchemical substances. Craftables are stored in vials or flasks. Higher-level alchemists can learn transmutation, which allows the alchemist to convert metals and essences into other substances. Alchemists can specialize as a Master of Potions, Master of Elixirs or a Master of Transmutation, which provides additional bonuses to those crafting skills. They can also create Arcanite Bars, exclusively created by the Alchemist, making it a lucrative choice.

Blacksmithing: Blacksmiths can craft metal weapons, mail, and plate armor as well as various trade goods such as keys, shield-spikes and weapon chains. In addition, blacksmiths can make items from stone to provide temporary weapon buffs. A unique benefit of becoming a blacksmith is that they can add a socketed gem to one-handed weapons, bracers, and gloves, which provides useful stat bonuses. Blacksmiths can choose to specialize as an Armorsmith or a Weaponsmith.

Enchanting: Enchanters are known for their ability to imbue items with various bonuses. Using magical dust, essences, and shards, Enchanters can add attributes, powers, and properties to gear. Enchanters can also “disenchant” items to extract regents for enchantments. Enchantments are considered necessary when playing end-game content, and enchanters can apply special enchantments to their own gear that provides powerful bonuses.

Engineering: Engineers are masters of tinkering. They create mechanical devices such as trinkets, guns, ammunition, goggles, and explosives! Many of the recipes are unconventional and showcase the wackier side of the crafting professions – but unfortunately, most engineering items can only be used by the engineer themselves. Items are crafted using metals, minerals, gems, and stone. Specializations include Goblin or Gnomish Engineering, both of which provide unique recipes.

Leatherworking: Leatherworkers use leathers, hides, scales, threads, and salts to craft leather armor and armor kits. Leatherworkers commonly craft gear for Rogues, Hunters, Druids, and Shamans and can specialize in Elemental Leatherworking, Dragonscale Leatherworking, and Tribal Leatherworking.

Tailoring: Tailors are the makers of cloth goods, including cloth armor and bags. In addition, Tailors can weave raw cloth items into bolts of cloth. A unique ability of the Tailor is to create magical threads that imbue special bonuses onto the items they are attached to. Tailors can specialize in Mooncloth Tailoring or Shadoweave Tailoring, which allows them to create exclusive cloth necessary for high-level crafting.
